Should Donald Trump’s future be decided by judges and juries? Or by voters? That’s the larger question hovering over the spectacle that unfolded in a Manhattan courtroom, as Trump was arraigned on 34 felony charges stemming from his cover-up of a fling with an adult movie star, Stormy Daniels.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am traveling with a work group, and we will be in close quarters for about a month. I like the people I’m traveling with, so I suspect everything will be fine. My one concern is that I have a number of medical issues nobody knows about. I am a very private person, especially about things like this. I had to fill out a form to outline my medical history, but that form was private. I’m wondering if I am under any obligation to tell my team about my medical challenges. For the most part, there should be no issues.
Dear Doctors: I’m 48 years old and in perimenopause. I’ve missed a few periods and joked with my doctor about being pregnant. She said not to laugh — it can happen. Considering my age, I was really surprised. What happens with your body in perimenopause?

The Bible's shortest verse — 'Jesus wept' — is also one of its most important. That was the message delivered by the Rev.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I work for a freelancer who has a lot of clients. One of these clients recently offered me a job, separate from the work I do for my current boss. The pay would be more than what I make now, but my boss has shared how difficult the client can be. This made me feel conflicted as to whether or not it would be considered betrayal of my current boss if I take the job offer. I feel like if I take the job, it might create tension between us, and I was hoping to remain friends with my boss after my departure. I also don’t particularly wish to deal with a difficult employer, having watched my boss struggle with this person firsthand. What should my next step be? — Conflicted DEAR CONFLICTED: Beware the client who tries to poach an employee. Unless this client spoke to your boss and asked for their blessing to hire you, it would be considered an ethical violation for them to try to steal you from your current job. Your boss would likely feel betrayed, and your relationship would surely suffer. If this potential new employer sees nothing wrong with doing that, what can you expect from how they might treat you?
